When faced with vomit on fabric, the first step is to remove as much of material from the fabric as possible. Use an old spoon with a rounded edge or a butter knife to gently scrape away the vomit from the fabric.
The next step is to rinse the affected area with cold water to remove any remaining particles. Use a soft cloth to gently dab the area and help to flush out stain. Don’t scrub the fabric, as this can cause permanent damage or even further stretching of the material.
Once you’ve rinsed out the stain, apply a gentle cleanser to spandex and rub it in using a soft, circular motion. Rinse the cleanser off with cool water and inspect the area for any remaining stains. If you spot any, repeat process until the area is clean.
When cleaning spandex, it’s important to avoid using chlorine bleach, which can damage the fabric. Instead, use a mild detergent or a product specifically designed for synthetic fabrics.
After cleaning, air-dry item. Avoid putting spandex in the dryer, as heat can cause further stretching of the fabric. Once dry, inspect the item for any remaining stains. If you still see evidence of the vomit stain, repeat the process.
Following these simple steps can help you keep your spandex looking good as new. If you’re having trouble getting the stain out, start again from the beginning. With a bit of patience and the right cleaning products, you can remove vomit stains from spandex without causing any damage to the fabric.
